Mobile Homes FAQs

Where do I go to register my mobile home?

When purchasing a mobile home the first step is
to obtain a title from Auto Registration. Next you must come into
our office and fill out two forms. The first form is a 521 Mobile
Home transfer statement. This form lets us know who the buyer and
seller is, how the home was transferred, where the home is currently
located and where it is was at the time of purchase, basic
information on the home itself, the legal description, and the
purchase price. The second form is a form 402. This form lets us
know who owns the land and who owns the improvement (home) on the
land.

What if I sell my mobile home?

When you sell your mobile home you must prorate
the taxes yourself between buyer and seller. The county does not
prorate taxes. You will sign the title off to the new owner and they
will start the process all over again. If you sell a mobile home and
the forms 521 and 402 are not filled out in our office by the new
owner, the tax statement will remain in your name until this
information is obtained.

What if I move my mobile home?

Before you move a mobile home a moving permit is
required by the moving company. A permit will not be issued until
the current taxes are paid up to date. That requires accelerating or
making taxes due now instead of at the end of the year. Moving a
mobile home without accelerating is punishable with a class four
misdemeanor.

What do I have to do if I own a Mobile Home
Park?

If you own a mobile home court, you must provide
our office with an annual court report listing the date the mobile
home was parked, the lot number it is located on, the owner of the
mobile home, the make, year, width and length of the mobile home.
The annual court report is required by January 15th of every year.
Quarterly reports are due in by April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st
for any changes occurring after the annual report.
